Disqus is a feature-rich commenting platform with social-network integration, analytics, advanced administration and moderation, spam control and more. The audience engagement plugin helps publishers boost reader engagement, grow traffic, build loyalty and monetize content. The user- and publisher-friendly commenting experience automatically adapts to a site’s design and colors, with several customization options, and supports 70 languages. Disqus users can even place native ads around comments to generate revenue.
Disqus and Brightspot: How it works
Brightspot’s Disqus integration supports commenting via an embedded Disqus forum on a number of content types, including: articles, blog posts, listicles, live blogs and pages.
Note: In the event that a content type has a sponsor associated with it, editors can hide the embedded Disqus forum.
Disqus and Brightspot: Use cases
- A leading food media outlet publishes a popular series of seasonal recipes via Brightspot, driven by trends and reader feedback. The Disqus integration lets editors spark a conversation with readers, many of whom share their opinions on the recipes and even suggest their own.
- A music magazine focuses on classic rock, with interviews, profiles, reviews and “best-of” lists. By implementing the Disqus commenting tool, editors are able to maintain a respectful decorum by removing negative and profane commenters, and filtering out spam.
